Wow… somebody sure is taking this paid links jihad very seriously. Google has again reduced the PageRank values of various sites.

Recently, TLA has been sending out emails to publishers notifying them of changes to their affiliate URLs. Apparently TLA is now using TinyURL’s redirecting service to replace their direct affiliate links.
